Call of Duty 4: Assault Rifles

In depth stats on CoD4 Assault Rifles.

M16A4

Standard service rifle for the U.S. Armed Forces. Fires a 3-round burst. With the Stopping Power perk, this rifle is pretty much a guaranteed one-burst kill if you can land all three shots on your target. Definitely not recommended for the aggressive, run-and-gun player, but one of the deadliest guns in the game for those who like to hang back a little and engage in medium-long range fire.

AK-47

Still the most iconic and best-selling assault rifle worldwide. Fires on full auto. The rifle has a noticeable vertical kick to it, but its recoil suppressor ensures that the rifle levels again before firing the next shot. Good for closer-quarters combat than the M16 or M4, but still pulls off good middle-long distance single shots.

G3

Battle rifle designed in Germany and Spain; used by NATO and non-NATO militaries worldwide. CoD4 features a single-shot version of the rifle. The combined accuracy and damage on this gun make it sort of a mini-sniper rifle limited only by how sharp your eye is or, if you attach an ACOG, how steady your hand is. With Stopping Power, two consecutive shots will drop a target. Take advantage of the accuracy and go for headshots when you can. Not recommended at all for close quarters, since the slow rate of fire and poor running accuracy can cripple you. You don't get many shots with this gun, so consider bulking your ammo with Bandolier. (Note: You unlock the G3 at Rank 25 2nd Lieutenant)
